For some, Helldivers 2’s anti-cheat software limits the ability to play at all - sh.itjust.works

Does this game need client-side anticheat at all? It’s not PvP, so if you’re cheating, you just ruin the experience for yourself and maybe your teammates. But as far as I know, there are no rankings and not really any competition.
Since it has friendly fire, I imagine an aimbot would be one of the worst things for the game.
If you want to shoot your teammates, you can do that just fine without an aimbot
No need for pinpoint accuracy when you are doing half a ton of explosives via close air support or heavy artillery from low orbit. Or worst: a mortar turret with no regard for friendlies.
